V and A Placement Nursing Agency places qualified nurses with healthcare facilities. It runs a head office in Benoni plus eight further offices, and most of those offices publish their own numbers rather than routing through a switchboard.
Official contact channels
- Main number, also used for WhatsApp: 063 011 0053
- Email: [email protected]
- Head office: 106 Lakefield Avenue, Benoni, top floor, above Pick n Pay
- Enquiry form on the contact page at vaplacement.co.za/contact-us
Several offices list a mobile number rather than a landline. These are published as the office contact on the agency own contact page rather than belonging to a named person, so they are the correct numbers to use, but expect them to be answered as a mobile.
What this organisation provides
The agency connects qualified nurses with healthcare facilities for flexible shifts, long term placements and work across the country, and it also runs courses. Registration is open to any qualified nurse holding valid certifications and credentials, and the agency states it offers a range of flexible shift options. Note what this means in practice: the agency is the placing intermediary, so questions about a specific shift, a roster or pay for a placement go to the office that arranged it, while questions about your registration as a nurse do not belong here at all.

Two of the offices are listed by street address only, without a town. The dialling codes are the best guide there: the 053 number on the Welgevonden Street office places it in the Northern Cape, and the Sydenham office 031 number places it in Durban. Confirm the town when you call if you are travelling to one of them.
Support and escalation routes
Raise a placement or pay problem with the office that arranged the shift, then with the head office in Benoni. The agency publishes a PAIA manual on its website, which sets out how to request access to records it holds about you and the fees payable. Beyond the agency, the routes differ by the kind of complaint. Conduct or fitness to practise of a nurse falls to the South African Nursing Council. An employment dispute over pay, hours or unfair dismissal goes to the CCMA. A private employment agency must be registered as a private employment agency with the Department of Employment and Labour, and complaints about that fall to the department rather than to a health regulator.
